Obedience

Leighton has a thing about not getting in trouble at school. She is very proud of the fact that she always gets a "4". {Each students starts at four and then has a tag pulled for each infraction-at 0 you are in the Principal's office.} Today I was helping Amanda paint her new addition. All five of the children were playing together. Madison, Carly and Leighton were playing school. Leighton had to go the bathroom. Madison was the teacher and needed to write her a hall pass. Well, Leighton, not wanting to have her tag pulled, waited and waited and waited. You guessed it, she waited too long and didn't make it to the toilet.

I am beginning to think that therapy is in order. She is taking this obedience thing too far. (except at home) Her anxiety level over this stupid tag pulling is CrAzY!!
